2.1. Surveillance, Reviews, and Case Studies
Although the use of behavioral safety is believed to be widespread
across industry (Sulzer-Azaroff & Austin, 2000), we know of no study
that has quantified its prevalence through surveillance research.
Moreover, information about industry's experience with these
approaches is limited at best. A better understanding of these
experiences will help identify not only best or promising practices,
but also the obstacles and barriers to successful implementations and
the knowledge or practice gaps that provide opportunities for
research. Accordingly, comprehensive surveys need to be developed
and administered periodically across all industry sectors to identify
recent experiences with behavioral safety implementations, which
appears at this time to be a research endeavor of great importance.
Minimally, these surveys should: (a) assess the prevalence of
behavioral safety approaches; (b) identify the common practices
associated with behavioral safety; (c) assess individual perceptions
and attitudes toward the intervention process; (d) identify specific
behavioral safety practices that are correlated with superior safety
performance; and (e) identify organizational and cultural factors that
are associated with intervention effectiveness, such as those related to
safety policies, management structure and practices, employee and
management participation, employee and management performance
appraisals, and labor-management cooperation.
